I'd see it as a huge victory on his side, retiring at the high of his career and holding that place for-evermore. I just can't see him walking away and not taking 1-2 more fights, putting $2.5-10M in his pocket. Will George fight until he is 40? I can't see that happening. Walking away from millions at 32? I just can't see that either.

Whatever he does, outside getting his head knocked off my Johny, I think he has been one of the best contenders in the history of the sport and he can call it a day any time.

There's a chance that loooong talked about GSP/Silva fight could happen, but I don't think it will. Maybe he goes to lightweight and gets a title match and defends once or he fights in a title eliminator and fights for the title and calls it a career.

It's been said so many times that he's one of the greatest fighters ever, and he certainly is at welterweight. He's been a constant professional and besides choosing Nick Diaz over Johny Hendricks, he's fought whoever they've put in front of him. Yes he hasn't had the finishes he's capable of having, but he's been so dominant that there's no question he's the best welterweight in the world.

It'd be a hell of a turn if he did challenge Anderson after his fight with Hendricks. But he definitely has to keep his focus on his fight, because one punch from Big Rigg could potentially put him out.

UFC 167 marks St-Pierre’s 21st appearance under the UFC banner, tying him with Chris Leben for eighth most all-time. Tito Ortiz holds the record with 27 UFC appearances.

He’s fought in the main event in 13 of his 20 UFC appearances. The only time St-Peirre has not fought in the main event in his past 13 fights was at UFC 100, when Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir headlined and fought for the heavyweight title.
